Many hikes on island are kid friendly, as in do-able while carrying/toting/dragging little ones. This one, not so much.
That said, the base (where you enter/Park) has benches, picnic tables, store, food truck, restrooms, etc. A great place for friends and families to wait.

Not sure the total round trip (may be something like 1.4 miles), but it's not an 'easy' walk. One pathway serves both people coming and going. Some people run up the trail with backpacks; they're there to exercise. The path is not smooth and level,...More

To be honest, we are more of an action/adventure family than a beech family. Did we cool down at the beech after? - yup.
Getting there: There were tour buses that dropped you off inside. There was parking if you wanted to drive and a...More

We had hiked Manoa Falls earlier, so were a bit worn by the time we did Diamond Head, but it was definitely worth it!
We did not take a tour, but parked in the lot, checked out the small outside visitor center and started up...More

I did see kids with parents hiking Diamond Head. I did see people wearing shoes that is better worn at the shopping complex. To some it is a moderate hike, to some it is an easy hike. I guess just go if you happen to bring your kid for regular hikes but if not, better don't. Nothing much to do at the base. But before you entering the tunnel to Diamond Head's car park, there is a public park that you can jog.

Like most travelers who have answered this. The main issue or concern you have, would be is my child safe walking up this track? My answer is Yes. Its about slow & steady. At certain areas of this track there are handrails to help everyone up or down the stairs or around corners, so make sure you know where your feet are. The terrain can be a little tough but to be generally honest your pacing yourself & keeping an eye on your young fella all the way. My son & I climbed this and hes 9 years old. I have seen younger children walking this track & they do get tired. Be prepared to carry him part of the way as long as you pace yourself he might surprise you and get up there without too much hassle. With all young children i agree there are some safety issues but that's with all parents walking any track anywhere. I did carried some plasters just in case, with the usual water drinks and small snacks for energy. Take a hat and some sunscreen. The track is roughly 1.3km in length but its mostly up. Wear shoes. enjoy.
